What is Huntington’s disease?  This picture shows the cruelest disease on the planet; Huntington’s disease and Juvenile Huntington’s disease.  Huntington’s disease is a hereditary disease that progressively damages nerve cells in the brain, leading to problems with movement, thinking, and behavior. It’s caused by a faulty gene and typically appears between the ages of 30 and 50, though it can occur earlier or later. There is NO CURE.
